I am kind of at a loss about what to talk about in this entry. Things have been going great and smoothly. I was fortunate enough to have Easter Sunday off and visit Jessica in Washington, D.C. the week before; but now that I am back on schedule, I've realized how well things have settled in for me in Fullerton. This doesn't necessarily mean I'm not being challenged or growing in my internship. On the contrary, I feel like I'm learning more about leadership every week. I just feel like I've reached a place in my internship where much of my learning and growing now comes from experience.
When I first started my internship, I needed to be taught how to do things. I had to be shown how to run the sound board, how to work the lighting console, how to use the lyrics program. I had the supervision of my leaders, and the training I received was personal and intentional. Since moving to the Fullerton campus back in February, I have been transitioning into a position where my mentors don't necessarily look over my shoulder every moment. They don't give me teaching lessons at every possible opportunity. I'm experienced enough now to know how everything works. Now I am putting that experience into practice and am continually being sharpened by every new experience I encounter.
So this may be a more vague journal entry than my previous ones, but that's because I have no specific reflection for this week. Consider this to be more of a "bigger picture" post.
